Line-up
DATSKAT: Karriem Riggins + J.Rocc
Two hip-hop icons, known for their genre-defining releases on Stones Throw Records.
During this year’s Amsterdam Dance Event we welcome two hip-hop icons. The eccentric drummer Karriem Riggins and turntablist J.Rocc blend live instrumentation and a crate full of records into a hip-hop time capsule.
Karriem Riggins is renowned as both a jazz drummer and hip-hop producer. He has played with artists such as Common, Slum Village, Talib Kweli, and The Roots, yet Riggins doesn’t categorize himself as anything but an artist. In 2012, he turned heads with Alone Together, his instrumental debut album featuring 34 tracks built around one central theme: rhythm. J.Rocc is a turntablist to the core, active behind the decks since the 1980s. In addition to countless mixtapes and releases on Stones Throw, J.Rocc is also the DJ for Madlib’s live shows. Both artists have made undeniable contributions to the world of instrumental hip-hop — and now, they come together to celebrate that legacy. “From turntables to drum kit, and crate to crash, expect an exploration of groove where beat science meets improvisation.”

The BIMHUIS is the place for pioneering musicians and curious listeners of all generations. It was founded in 1974 as a place to give Dutch jazz its own stage. Soon, it became one of the most important Dutch stages for improvised music. Nowadays, the liberal jazz blood has remained: in the BIMHUIS, rules are still being broken, holy houses kicked down and so-called boundaries crossed.

Not to worry! Make sure to contact the event (or their ticketing provider) you are visiting as soon as possible with as many details about your order; name, email address, amount of tickets, etc. Once they've recovered your order, the tickets can be resent to your email.
Need help to find your event's contact details? Message us at [email protected] and we'll be happy to help.
Most festival events have an age limit of 18+ (and sometimes even 21+ or 23+). These are Dutch governmental rules which state that below the age of 18 you are not allowed to enter a club.
Please double-check the promoter's or venue's website to be sure you can access the event!
Yes, the ADE Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events.
Be aware though that there are over 1,200 events during ADE that you can enter with the Pro Pass wristband and that ADE cannot guarantee access. There is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for Pro Pass holders. This means for some of the more crowded events you have to arrive early. Once capacity is reached, we will go over in a full-for-now policy. The festival event organizer will decide when and if more people are allowed to go in.
The ADE Pro Pass is the perfect fit if you are planning on enjoying the combination of day and night events. If you want guaranteed access to a particular festival event, we advise you to get a single festival ticket instead.
We dance together, so please be mindful of yourself and each other. We expect an open attitude from our visitors towards other guests, regardless of their origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion and age. If you see or experience any unwanted attention, harassment or behavior of any kind that makes you uncomfortable, please speak out and notify staff.
Please keep in mind: we love being your annual host, therefore, we would like to ask you to enjoy yourself responsibly.
ADE is proud partner of the Celebrate Safe campaign.
